Скачать или смотреть Common Sense PD: Using Improv to Redefine Education

When you think of improv, you probably imagine a comedian going off script rather than an educator in front of a laptop. While the idea of using humor to spark learning can be difficult for some teachers to grasp, the need for educators to alleviate our students' stress associated with online learning is not. Join Jordan Elizabeth, improv actor and New York education trainer for Girls Leadership (https://girlsleadership.org/) as she shares practical tips educators can incorporate into their pedagogy. The interactive chat will include physical activities and mindfulness exercises to try with your students.
Recorded on 7/24/2020.
